This will be not full secure. What happen if smartphone will be steal or lost?
How can possible recover private keys?

Recently I read the news that HTC has invented a phone based on blockchain. This smartphone can be used as a wallet and will also support all applications on the blockchain. This is great.
even android and ios phones can always support blockchain based apps and crypto related apps like wallets or exchangers so buying it wont be any benficial to and it may only cost more expensive compared to any regular phones nowadays since it came from a high end manufacturer which is htc .
yet this phone isnt new because even on the past years i already heard a blockchain based phones but that is from a different company , that wasnt succesful at all and it doesnt create any hype after they release it . atleast these kind of idea's can surely help the promotion of bitcoin and cryptocurrency
The start-up Sirin and the electronics giant Foxconn are planning a smartphone with a built-in digital wallet. This should be much easier - but the mobile phone will not be cheap.
Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones. Now a start-up and a large contract manufacturer want to make it clear to the consumer that the combination of Bitcoin and smartphone can also have their good and safe sides.
The Swiss-Israel company Sirin Labs and the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which among other things manufactures iPhones for Apple, are planning the first smartphone with blockchain technology. So with the technology that forms the basis of all virtual currencies. Thus, the crypto will finally mass market suitable, says Sirin founder and co-CEO Moshe Hogeg. The device, jointly developed by Sirin and Foxconn called Finney is said to facilitate transactions with digital money and provide protection against hacker attacks.
Use physical switches to access the wallet
The two companies are counting on the fact that there are currently millions of Bitcoin owners, but only a few use Bitcoin for day-to-day business. The complicated technology makes this unattractive. To prevent theft, Bitcoin payers must keep their assets on special memory sticks until needed. Then remember to remember complicated usernames and passwords that can be many characters long. An uncomfortable thing that gets in the way of a really big spread. "No chance my mother will find out how to use Bitcoin. And my mother is smart, "says Sirin boss Hogeg.

With a smartphone that basically everyone can carry in their pocket, everything should be much easier. With the Blockchain mobile phone, for example, users should be able to shop on crypto-friendly websites. This promises a high level of security. Finney devices - under this brand, smartphones and PCs are planned - are the first to rely on the applicable as uncrackable Blockchain Technik. They run under the widespread mobile operating system Android, in conjunction with special cybersecurity technologies. With the help of its own physical switch, the owners should be able to cut off online access to the built-in digital purse ("wallet") and thus hinder hacker attacks. This so-called "cold wallet" is considered safer than a "hot wallet" that can be accessed anytime via the internet.
Competitors are also involved
Sirin has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in project development from investors: 158 million USD in December, and another 70 million USD recently. The Bitcoin smartphone is expected to hit the market in October 2018. First, it wants to market it through its own stores, later on via telecommunications companies. The device is not cheap. Initially, 999 USD are targeted; Later, license agreements with other cell phone producers should push this price down to 200 USD. Among other things, Sirin is in talks with Huawei.
Meanwhile, others have discovered the charm of a blockchain phone - competitors like Zippie and Bitvault. Nevertheless, analysts rate the prospects of success quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the use of Bitcoin is still very limited, on the other hand, there is a danger of constantly carrying its virtual money with it. Criminals could kidnap Finney owners and forcibly gain access to the virtual wallets, so the fear.

Bitcoin in itself is a very smart technology, a decade ago on the day of its introduction to people it was considered totally as alien technology because of its potential and fate it bears but then with time it has proved its worth and potential and has overcome all the obstacles and criticism in its path and now on the top of all the crypto ranking and then companies started investing into bitcoin and I heard the news that Samsung smartphones might be come with bitcoin technology and then they will be the most secure smartphones ever because of bitcoin technology and I think this collaboration of Samsung and bitcoin is wise and profitable for all of us. Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones.

I am very happy that there are companies that think of bitcoin smartphones. Because bitcoin smartphones will be the best way to use Bitcoin.

Nice Initiative
HTC has also launched somewhat similar smartphone, cost of this phone is somewhat similat to the new iphoneXR.
If they can reduce the cost then I am sure this new smartphone will be a hit.
Since, Hot wallet are risky to store cryptos, I am not sure whether the wallet will be the USP for Blockchain based smartphone.
Anyways we need to wait till the actual product is launched.
Of course this is good news about the existence of Bitcoin Smartphone, hopefully if it can be realized it will be useful for all and bitcoin will be even more advanced
It's all meaningless.
Cryptocurrency has a big problem. It's a security issue. And it doesn't matter which gadget to use and how it will look.

Bitcoin in past few years getting more popular and many bussiness sector want to involve and want to take advantages in bitcoin. I am believe in the future, more company involve to expand bitcoin bussiness and i think its good for bitcoin holder because holder can store and spend their bitcoin more easily
This smartphone will really be very convenient for the investor, and I also recently read the news about this phone from HTC. I was amazed because I did not think that such a smartphone will be created so quickly. I really want to buy it.
Recently I read the news that HTC has invented a phone based on blockchain. This smartphone can be used as a wallet and will also support all applications on the blockchain. This is great.
This will seriously move bitcoin forward. I think that the use of such a smartphone will be very convenient for bitcoin investors and for those who start using bitcoin as a means of payment. We will wait for the release of such a smartphone on the world market.
Any sites about this that we can read? I ca't just believe this with just your post and no supporting sites, articles and statements but I think that will be big for certain investors since a smartphone and a digital wallet in one is a great thing. The only problems is that there are a lot of people that lose their phones, in fact I've read this article last month and it is really surprising that a lot of people lose their phones and this is their massive calculations about it.

You can also read this one since we are talking about Smartphones now. If this technology will be about smartphones and digital wallet, they should be able to be shockproof since most of the users of smartphones tends to broke their phones maybe from falling and forgetting it.

I love the concept and innovation, its awesome and sounds great. Lets hope its fully established and achieved . its kind of crypto linked to it so they want to use it to force their market and make everyone buy into it.
a few weeks ago there were companies that launched smartphone blockchain based and could only be purchased using Bitcoin, is this one of the innovations so that cryptocurrency can be used in the real world? 
maybe in the future there will be computer blockchain-based too, let's wait and keep support

This would be a disruptive and game changer move in this history of Bitcoin. A bitcoin smartphone would enhance the popularity and awareness of the currency and would also make it easier for the investors to access and keep an eye on their bitcoins on a regular basis and would be very handy. As far as the announcement is concerned, HTC has announced this upcoming project at the Consensus Conference held in New York City.
right. with this news, most important thing is to widely introduce public to access bitcoin using smartphones, hopefully the price of smartphone can be affordable, so btc will be more widely known
Its a step forward for sure but it won't deal with the cyber attack issues. I also feel that having the wallet on your mobile phone is less safe than having it on the PC.
Great news, but I still trust my Hardware Wallet more.
as far as I know this is happening right now. another question is what are they for? if only to pay for mobile applications, i.e. to create a closed ecosystem
If they can make it more affordable by the masses it will be a good phone to buy but if this is very expensive, I would rather buy a hardware wallet to and keep few on an online wallet for a daily transactions.
